Blackmores is market leader in the Vitamin Herbal and Mineral Supplement (VHMS) market in Australia, with strong market positions in New Zealand, Thailand and Malaysia, and a growing presence in other ASEAN countries. Blackmores has been an industry leader in Australia for over 70 years, since its founder Maurice Blackmore developed a whole system of healthcare products based on naturopathic principles. He was a pioneer of natural health, preventative medicine, the environment and recycling as far back as the 1930s. The core values and philosophies established at the outset are still alive around natural health care, quality products and a commitment to sustainability. These values come to life when interviewing Marcus Blackmore, the current Chairman and son of the founder, who is passionate about doing the right thing for Blackmores' people, customers and the public in general. He is clear that all organisations, including Blackmores, have a responsibility to the next generation to leave a better planet. He is even sensitive to this case study because he believes there is still much more Blackmores can do to further improve its sustainable business practices – they are still on their sustainability journey. He also realises that sustainability is core to the ongoing development of the Blackmores brand and reputation in Australia and overseas. As an example of Blackmores candour and to show they are still on the journey, Blackmores is still in the process of auditing its supply chain (of more than 350 ingredients) to determine their GM (genetically modified) status. Blackmores will continue to work with contract manufacturers and ingredient suppliers (see Strategic Sourcing below) to assess the sources, production techniques, sustainability and continuity of supplies until such time that it can be proven that all ingredients are non GM or GM-free. Blackmores' core

Covering all the major qualitative approaches in business studies (including case study research, ethnography, narrative inquiry, discourse analysis, grounded theory and action research), this practical how-to guide shows how qualitative methods are used within management, marketing, organizational studies and accounting. Within each approach, the authors consider crucial issues such as framing the research, generating research questions, getting access, collecting empirical materials, reporting the results and evaluating the research.
